Western Railroad Discussion > flight arriving on track two

The W/B fuselage train had a couple extra horses on it today at belgrade MT. It was interesting to see the two different models at the tail of the train

Looks to be a 737-Max, the long one.

The other one with no windows may be a Navy P-8...

I LOVE your thread title! Knew it was about the Boeing 737 fuselages beibg transported by rail. Great pix, too. And the snow is sooooo beautiful....

Those two fuselages are, indeed, very different. (thought the differences would be quite small, and hard to see, but they sure aren't!)

there should be a "like" button

Nice!! Love the subtle variety on the 737s shown above, really one of Boeing’s shining stars in the aero industry. Giving me the itch to break out my Protoloads models for a trip around the layout...

Mr. MRL

Might even be an Australian P8.Boeing were/are aiming for 52 of these out the door a month this year.

Could be. I would have first guessed a 737-900ER. Are there enough unique differences in the fuselage alone to tell a 737 Next Gen from the equivalent 737 MAX variant? I really can't tell until I see the wings and engines.

I'd agree that last fuselage looks like a P-8.

It may already have been mentioned here on TO but the 10,000th 737 fuselage departed Wichita for Renton on February 14.

"Now arriving from Wichita...."

I thought after the accident in Montana in 2014 that they were going to limit the number of fuselages per train to three.

and after the tornado in Nebraska, but it wasn't practical

It's the BNSF, every restriction they place upon themselves is ignored on a whim especially if the loads get behind.
